"They buy our produce for nothing and sell it at huge prices to consumers"

"Angry Italian eggplant growers: "They are taking away our dignity"

Mario Incardona, administrator for Gold Green, posted some pictures and made an appeal on his Facebook page. Eggplants are in fact quoted at €0.20/kg at Vittoria's market but are then sold at €2.20/kg in supermarkets.




"This is a year of hard work and sacrifices down the drain. I prefer to give my product back to the earth rather than taking it to the market."




"They are taking away our dignity: they buy our produce for nothing and sell it at huge prices to consumers. They are messing with us as well as with the people, as they cannot afford to buy such an expensive product."
